The video message was played at a BJP workers' meeting that was addressed by party president Amit Shah.
Parrikar (62) is undergoing treatment for a pancreatic ailment at a hospital in the US, where he was admitted in the first week of March after being treated at Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital.
The Congress has demanded the appointment of a "full-time" chief minister for the coastal state in Parrikar's absence.
In the absence of the Chief Minister, a three-member advisory committee, comprising cabinet ministers, is looking after the day-to-day affairs of the government.
